trianglengin 2.0.2

High-performance C++/Python engine for a triangle puzzle game.

Triangle Engine (trianglengin) v2

Version 2 introduces a high-performance C++ core for the game logic.

This library provides the core components for a triangle puzzle game, suitable for reinforcement learning agents or other applications requiring a fast game engine. Interactive play/debug modes are included.

It encapsulates:

1. Core Game Logic (C++): High-performance implementation of environment rules, state representation, actions, placement validation, and line clearing. (src/trianglengin/cpp/README.md)
2. Python Interface: A Python GameState wrapper providing a user-friendly API to interact with the C++ core. (src/trianglengin/game_interface.py)
3. Configuration (Python/Pydantic): Models for environment settings (EnvConfig). (src/trianglengin/config/README.md)
4. Utilities (Python): General helpers, geometry functions, shared types. (src/trianglengin/utils/README.md)
5. UI Components (Python/Pygame/Typer): Basic visualization, interaction handling, and CLI for interactive modes. (src/trianglengin/ui/README.md)

Purpose

The primary goal is to provide a self-contained, installable library with a high-performance C++ core and a Python interface for the triangle puzzle game. This allows different RL agent implementations or other applications to build upon a consistent and fast game backend. The interactive UI is included but only initialized when running the specific UI commands.

Installation

Prerequisites:

• A C++ compiler supporting C++17 (e.g., GCC, Clang, MSVC).
• CMake (version 3.14 or higher).
• Python (>= 3.10) and Pip.

# For standard use (once published or built):
pip install trianglengin

# Building from source (requires compiler and CMake):
git clone https://github.com/lguibr/trianglengin.git
cd trianglengin
pip install .

(Note: pygame and typer will be installed as core dependencies).

Running Interactive Modes

After installing, you can run the interactive modes directly:

• Play Mode:

  trianglengin play [--seed 42] [--log-level INFO]
  

• Debug Mode:

  trianglengin debug [--seed 42] [--log-level DEBUG]

Local Development & Testing

These instructions are for developers contributing to trianglengin.

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/lguibr/trianglengin.git
   cd trianglengin
   

2. Prerequisites: Ensure you have a C++17 compiler and CMake installed.

3. Create and Activate Virtual Environment: (venv or conda)

   # Example using venv
   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate # or .\venv\Scripts\activate on Windows
   

   IMPORTANT: Ensure your virtual environment is activated.

4. Install Build Dependencies: (Needed even for core dev)

   pip install pybind11>=2.10 cmake wheel
   

5. Clean Previous Builds (Optional but Recommended):

   rm -rf build/ src/trianglengin.egg-info/ dist/ src/trianglengin/trianglengin_cpp.*.so src/trianglengin/trianglengin_cpp*.cpp
   

6. Install in Editable Mode with Dev Dependencies:

   • Make sure your virtual environment is active!
   • Run from the project root directory:

     # Installs core, UI, and dev tools
     pip install -e '.[dev]'
     

     This command compiles the C++ extension and installs the Python package so changes are reflected immediately. It also installs development tools.

7. Running Checks:

   • Make sure your virtual environment is active!
   • Tests & Coverage:

     pytest tests/ --cov=src/trianglengin --cov-report=xml
     

     (Coverage measures core Python code, excluding UI). To just run tests: pytest
   • Linting: ruff check .
   • Formatting: ruff format .
   • Type Checking: mypy src/trianglengin/ tests/

8. Troubleshooting Build/Import Errors:

   • Ensure compiler and CMake are installed and in PATH.
   • Make sure the virtual environment is active before running pip install -e.
   • Clean previous builds (Step 5).
   • Check pyproject.toml and setup.py for correct configuration.
   • Verify Pybind11 version compatibility.

Core Components (v2)

• trianglengin.cpp (C++ Core): Implements the high-performance game logic (state, grid, shapes, rules). Not directly imported in Python.
• trianglengin.game_interface.GameState (Python Wrapper): The primary Python class for interacting with the game engine. It holds a reference to the C++ game state object and provides methods like step, reset, is_over, valid_actions, get_shapes, get_grid_data_np.
• trianglengin.config.EnvConfig: Python Pydantic model for core environment configuration. Passed to C++ core during initialization.
• trianglengin.utils: General Python utility functions and types. (src/trianglengin/utils/README.md)

UI Components (trianglengin.ui)

• trianglengin.ui.config.DisplayConfig: Pydantic model for UI display settings.
• trianglengin.ui.visualization: Python/Pygame rendering components. Uses data obtained from the GameState wrapper. (src/trianglengin/ui/visualization/README.md)
• trianglengin.ui.interaction: Python/Pygame input handling for interactive modes. Interacts with the GameState wrapper. (src/trianglengin/ui/interaction/README.md)
• trianglengin.ui.app.Application: Integrates UI components for interactive modes.
• trianglengin.ui.cli: Command-line interface (trianglengin play/debug).

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please open an issue or submit a pull request on the GitHub repository. Ensure that changes maintain code quality (pass tests, linting, type checking) and keep READMEs updated. Building requires a C++17 compiler and CMake.
